Penny for your thoughts :)

 What's the point of living in Sudbury if you can't brag a little bit. So yeah, here's my picture of the Big Nickel. I get out to this part of town about once a month and so last week, the weather was nicer than normal, and I snapped a photo.

I am still amazed at how much Nickel the mines in this city produce. This week, General Motors announced a new deal with Vale Canada Ltd. (formerly INCO) to provide enough nickel to GM to produce 350,000 new electric cars each year. That is mind blowing.

I remember when Neil was a schoolboy he did a class project on the popularity of nickel coins, It was fun to go through my change each week (or was it each day) to find enough nickels to put into his collection.
